Yes, the ingame model is basically the same. The only difference I can find is with the gun mantlet of the 5 cm Kw.K. 39 L/60 that seems to be equipped on this. Anything else – my SD client’s potato quality downgrading the fine details.

I think the person who took the screenshots accidentally mixed up the Pz. III ausf. J (tier IV) with the Pz III ausf. E (tier 3). The Pz III E was made HD in 9.16.

One thing to note: WG changed the Pz III A’s name to Pz III E last patch, but they didn’t change the suspension from the ausf A variant… until now. In HD, the suspension and hull have been changed to match the “ausf. E” designation.

Here’s some pictures I grabbed of the new in-game model; if you’d like, you can post them, @Seb: http://imgur.com/a/6TJgW
